Chapter Seventy-Two: Shaolin
As long as Songshan Shaomu Mountain is mentioned, Shaolin Temple is a topic that can never be avoided. Legend has it that the Bodhidharma Patriarch taught scholars with 4 volumes of the "Ranga Sutra", and then crossed the river to the north, and faced the wall of the Shaolin Temple for nine years, preaching the Dharma Hui Ke, and then the Shaolin Zen Master continued to inherit.
After years of operation, the prestige is flourishing, Shaolin Temple has the reputation of "Zen ancestral court, the first temple in the world", Shaolin itself is a transcendent status, becoming the Central Plains martial arts bull ear, "the world's martial arts out of Shaolin" so arrogant words not only did not make Shaolin become the target of the public, although it has also become the first choice for many conceited people to challenge, but this sentence has been recognized by the vast majority of martial arts people, which shows the status of Shaolin. Although Shaolin has been closed for hundreds of years due to various reasons in Tianlong, no one in the Central Plains martial arts will ignore this behemoth.
The town at the foot of Shaolin Mountain is naturally peaceful, although the Shaolin Temple is closed, but it does not mean that Shaolin does not communicate with the outside world, but with the shrinkage of power, the control over the area around Songshan does not decrease but increases.
Su Zhihang naturally felt very familiar with the scene in front of him. In fact, the atmosphere here is very similar to the situation in the vicinity of Jungnam Mountain, except that the object of worship has changed from Taoism to Buddhism, and other characteristics such as a large number of believers, a stable environment, and good public security.
After letting the old naughty boy return to Quanzhen with the martial arts cheats carefully sorted out and summarized by Su Zhihang, Su Zhihang also went to Shaolin "slowly" all the way from Tianshan, and along the way, in addition to understanding all things in heaven and earth and digesting what he had gained recently, he also inquired about Hong Qigong's whereabouts.
It's a pity that even if it is a member of the beggar gang, if there is no major incident, he does not know the whereabouts of his boss, and Su Zhihang naturally has nothing to gain these days. However, Su Zhihang is not in a hurry, he really can't find it, Su Zhihang opened a "world's first cooking conference" in Kaifeng with great fanfare, I believe that Hong Qigong's character as a foodie will never miss this kind of event.
Of course, Su Zhihang naturally hoped that he would be able to meet this northern beggar who "saw the head but not the tail" as soon as possible, after all, it was quite troublesome to hold a conference. Well, let's get back to business, although Su Zhihang is not in a hurry, but the speed will not be much slower than most people, and it didn't take long for Su Zhihang to come to the gate of the Shaolin Ancient Temple.
As mentioned earlier, although Shaolin has closed the mountain, it is not cut off from the outside world, and there are still two small novices at the door. Su Zhihang didn't mean to break in, so he naturally reported his name first: "The two little masters, they are poor and polite, but I don't know that this place is Songshan Shaolin Temple." ”
After Shaolin closed the mountain, although few people came to visit, the guests who could come at this time were basically people who had a very close relationship with Shaolin, so the two little novices who could be used as greetings would naturally not be the kind of arrogant people.
Seeing Su Zhihang greeting him, the two hurriedly returned the salute politely: "Amitabha, what the donor said is good, this temple is Shaolin Temple, I don't know what the donor is coming?" The temple has been closed for a hundred years, if the donor is to visit the old friend, but also ask the donor to inform the monk. This is naturally because the two little novices saw Su Zhihang dressed up, so naturally they would not have come to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and seeing that Su Zhihang was young and did not look like he was looking for trouble, so he asked Su Zhihang if he was visiting a friend.
Su Zhihang smiled slightly: "Su Zhihang, the poor road is all true, I came here, I have something to discuss, and I hope to see the abbot of the temple." The two little novices were shocked when they heard the name of the Quanzhen Sect, after all, the name of the No. 1 sect in the world of the Quanzhen Sect at this time was not called in vain, although it was not as strong as before the closure of the mountain in Shaolin, but Su Zhihang's self-declaration at the moment was enough to attract the attention of the other party.
Then, Su Zhihang, who identified himself, bluntly said that he wanted to see the abbot of the suffering, which naturally surprised the two little novices, but the two also knew that this matter was not something they could decide, so they saw the slightly older little novice step forward and said: "Amitabha, the little monk still needs to ask the abbot for this matter, and please wait for a while, please don't blame the donor." After speaking, he folded his hands and saluted Su Zhihang.
Su Zhihang didn't feel strange: "Poor Dao is not an unreasonable person, just go as little master." After getting Su Zhihang's answer, the little novice naturally went back to report, and as for the rest of the little novice, he took Su Zhihang to the Zhike Hall to wait.
In the Shaolin Temple, the abbot of Kuyan heard that a Quanzhen disciple came to visit and pointed out that he wanted to see him, and he was very surprised at first, after all, Kuyan also knew that he had no friendship with the seven sons of Quanzhen. But then again, if it is the seventh son of Quanzhen, Kucheng will consider whether the other party is coming to kick the hall, after all, although Quanzhen is known as the world's number one religion at this time, but he has not picked Shaolin, and this world's number one is somewhat watery.
However, from the mouth of Xiao Shami, he also knew that Su Zhihang was only a third-generation disciple, and he was very young, so he didn't think about it in the direction of kicking the hall. Since the other party is not here to kick the gym, and even if Su Zhihang is really a bitter rider who came to kick the gym, he is confident and not scared, and the bitter ride will naturally not give Quanzhen Sect a face.
Of course, Kucheng has such confidence, naturally because the little novice truthfully described Su Zhihang's age, otherwise Kucheng would not have remembered Su Zhihang's identity. You must know that although the keyboard has not been mentioned for a long time, Su Zhihang's name of "Judgment of Death" is definitely loud enough, and it already has the weight of faintly chasing the five uniques.
Of course, if you don't admit it in person, almost no one can associate Su Zhihang with the words "Death Judge", because compared with those almost miraculous achievements, Su Zhihang's appearance is too young and harmless, so even if he is a young man who is also called Su Zhihang from the same True Sect, there is no hard ride at all Su Zhihang to rely on the "Death Judge".
Let's return to Su Zhihang's side, Su Zhihang, who was waiting, naturally chatted with the little novice. For Xiao Shami, because of the closure of the mountain, he has been staying in the Shaolin Temple, as a young man, this is the time when he is most curious about the outside world, and constantly asks Su Zhihang about his experience in the rivers and lakes, Su Zhihang has no shelf, and the two of them quickly talked and laughed.
After some conversation, Su Zhihang felt that although the little novice in front of him was still young, he was an extremely intelligent child, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know the other party's name, so Su Zhihang said: "By the way, after chatting for a long time, I still don't know the name of the little master?" "Amitabha, the donor is polite, and the little monk's Dharma name is Tianming."
